    “Pride and Prejudice” arguably one of the best books ever written!
    I highly recommend Pride and Prejudice to anyone looking for your next best read. A book you shall find hard to put down until you have read the last words of this intriguing work of literary genius. I found this discourse so captivating and entertaining Jane Austen may well be new best friend. Holding on to every word you will find yourself longing for your next retreat into civility and reflection as you lose yourself herein the pages of this great book, and arguably one of the best ever written, possibly second only to the Bible.

    Great book
    I give this a rating of 4 only because the electronic version may have skipped some words. I found various misspellings. Overall it’s a great read. The writing style is very unique. The story line is beautiful.

    The very essence of a novel –
    It is perfect. Like other novels by Jane Austen, on the surface it is a love story. However, do some research on the political and social history of England in the first quarter of the 19th century and this novel explodes into a huge metaphor and a discussion of the morality of attitudes an practice and decisions made in the land.With all Austen’s novels metaphors abound and metaphors are contained within metaphors. The physical landscape they travel over – directions, hills and dales, pouulations centres and country – underlie the mood and the changes in moral stanpoints in the novel. And then there is the structure – the beginning, the middle and the end – and the coda. It is just brilliant.The crux of the novel – the middle of the middle – is atthe 50% mark of the length of text. For readers who know the novel this is when Elizabeth reads and comprehends Darcy’s letter and pride and prejucice swap places. Consider to spot where he hands her the letter – the lane beside the great park of the severe aunt whose being upholds the sucked in pretensions of wealth and a social order and aspiration to higher status all funded by so much a year from exploiting labour and land in the Carribbean and the East India Company’s rape of the wealth of India. So we have an alingnment outside and a change of alingnment that then furthers the rest of the story and that part where there is chaos centreed around the false Redcoat that is Whickam and his move to the Blue coats. Remember to what the Nation did with Redcoats and why there were Bluecoats and remember the Peninsular Wars ending with Waterloo and the ooccupation of colonies in the Americas and Australia.Ah – I shiver with how extraordinarialy apposite Austen’s seemingly simple romance metaphor was making comment on the social norms and underlying faults of her time and place.

    Not my cup of tea
    I finally decided to purchase Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. In the first couple chapters I had two lol moments. Apart from that, I found it rather boring and painful. The old English didn’t help. Eventually I was skimming and reading a few chapters here and there (something I don’t usually do). I read enough of the beginning, middle and end to have a fairly good idea what the story is about, but it was a relief to finally close the book. For me there were copious amounts of superfluous details and it could all have been said in a much shorter book. So no, this one’s not my cup of tea, though I did enjoy small parts here and there. But kudos to all those who read and understood every word and enjoyed it in its entirety!

    Una storia d’amore abbastanza improbabile ma molto ben costruita. Interessanti le abitudini e i valori di nobili e borghesi nell’Inghilterra ottocentesca. Altrettanto interessanti i tentativi di integrazione tra queste due diverse classi sociali

  9. James Allan Peters

    This classic novel keeps the reader engaged by the language alone, adding in the well known storyline makes it highly entertaining and very enjoyable.

  10. Kyle Davis

    This book has a refreshing use of language which is uncommon today. This is an amazing feel good book with enough twists and turns to keep youths entertained.
